Nintendo's tightly-packed presentation was basically a long string of upcoming games, for the Wii U and the 3DS alike. Let's have a look.

The Promise:Pokémon X and Y will launch worldwide on October 12, 2013 for the 3DS. A new Fairy Pokémon type will be present, along with Pokémon-Amie, a new minigame for becoming friends with your Pokémon.

The Promise: Coming to the Wii U in December 2013 is Super Mario 3D World, with the added bonus of a local four-player multiplayer mode starring Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad as playable characters, and a brand new Cat Mario powerup.

The Promise:Wii Party U will be released in October 2013, and it will feature at least 80 minigames.

True?Wii Party Ucame out on October 25, and not only did it have 80 minigames, but it also had board games that were playable on the Wii U GamePad.

The Promise: The new Wii Fit game for the Wii U, titled Wii Fit U, will launch in December 2013.

True? Yes, but in a kinda strange way. A trial version of Wii Fit U was released on the Wii U eShop on November 1, 2013, which was actually a version of the full game that you could download and play until it expired after a month. But, you could also buy a Nintendo Fit Meter and register it with your downloaded trial copy—that way you could keep playing for as long as you wanted.

The full retail version of Wii Fit U was eventually released on January 10, 2014, and the trial promotion expired on January 31.

The Promise: A new Art Academy game is in development for the Wii U, but it's a long way off. In the meantime, an Art Academy app will be released for the Wii U GamePad in Summer 2013, which will let players share color drawings on Miiverse.

True? There are still no news on Art Academy for Wii U, but the GamePad app, called Art Academy: SketchPad, was released on August 9, 2013.

The Promise: The following fourteen third-party games will launch on Nintendo's consoles before the end of 2013.

True? Yep, and the digital release even arrived earlier, on September 20, 2013. The retail version followed on October 6. Miiverse messaging with other players was done through the in-game Tingle Bottle item. Check out our review here.

The Promise:The Wonderful 101, Platinum Games' superhero adventure, will come to the Wii U on September 15.
